The computer malfunctions probably Windows-based and he becomes a psychotic killer. When Mike Kaplan a Warner Brothers international marketing executive attempted to override Warner Bros' decision not to release the film in Britain he sought Kubrick's help. After explaining the situation and how the film required a different marketing campaign Kubrick interrupted with "I've already seen it and it's terrific." The director Terrence Malick wrote to Hodges expressing how much he loved watching The Terminal Man saying "I have just come from seeing The Terminal Man and want you to know what a magnificent overwhelming picture it is. You achieve moods that I've never experienced in the movies before though it's only in hope of finding them that I keep going.
